After Adam West’s extreme slam-dancing yesterday, I think we should dial it back a little. Today we find ourselves in the quaint little logging town of Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was my first exposure to David Lynch, and I was quickly hooked on its sublime weirdness. Watching the first season again a couple of years [...]

So put on your red shoes bitches, it’s Dance Week 2010! Getting ready to school some fools on the [...]
